Control plane quality of service (qos) management

Abstract

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A wireless network may include a UE that may communicate with one or more service domains, such as via a network entity. A service domain may indicate control information to the network entity, the UE (e.g., via the network entity or directly), or both, where the control information may indicate a type of radio bearer associated with the service domain and a corresponding quality of service (QoS), among other parameters. Service domains may be associated with respective QoSes according to which signals are communicated via related types of radio bearers. As such, signaling may be communicated between the UE, the network entity, and the one or more service domains via radio bearers in accordance with corresponding QoSes.
